    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if it is connected to the Internet by Wi-Fi or cellular. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.

    Someone stole my ipod today in class and i want to know if you guys can track it or how can i do it

    Emmanuel:
    You most likely can not locate it because either the battery power ran out or whoever stole it turned it off.
    Do not post the serial number here in the forums. We are just other Mac users here in the community and not Apple employees.
    You will have to report the iPod to your local law authorities:

  • IPAD AIR - Lost and Stolen. Can the thief use my locked device?

    MY iPad Air was lost/stolen while crossing the border between Hong Kong and Lowu (Shenzhen).
    The device is locked. Under the support/my devices it shows that my iPad is registered with Apple and I do have the serial number for the device handy.
    I tried to use "FIND MY IPHONE" and the device does not show up. It is possible I did not activate that function although this is unlikely.
    Can the thief use my device by erasing all the data? Can Apple trace the device and if so, who do I report it to at Apple ?
    Please help.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I also read somewhere that in the event I use the remote function via iCloud to delete the contents of the iPad, the thief could then use it. I have no intention of doing this.
    I have just secured myself for now and changed all my passwords including the Apple user ID one.
    I guess my best bet would be to report and register the number to the local authorities in case it gets returned / shows up by some good samaritan ?

  • Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone all my personal data will be unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6  on the street

    Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone option,  all my personal data will be completely unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6 +  on the street. I have already received a mail from apple confirming that is erased. Can I trust on this message? It really works? my 3G connection was working properly.
    Thank you very much

    Hey Joangil,
    Yes! If you have received an email from Apple stating and confirming that it is erased then you should trust this message. It would have all been removed.
    Sorry to hear that your iPhone has been stolen,
    Zach

  • Someone stole my ipad

    Someone stole my ipad and now it says offline? Do I have any other options to track it's location? My next option is to of course go to the police but just wanted to know what else I could possibly do?
    Someone suggested that I wipe it but I am not sure if that is a good idea being as though it will not be linked to my account anymore.
    Thanks for any help provided!

  • In an IPad 2, can the two different mail accounts be made private

    In an IPad 2, can the two different mail accounts be made private?

    StashPro is an app which can keep things private.
    Photos/documents/videos can be kept private and private browsing is possible with this.
    no matter what you are doing, pressing the home button or power button locks the application and can be opened only by a password set by you while others can access rest of the applications.
    what i do is login to the mail program in the browser and leave it there.  so, the moment you click on this app and give the password, you will be taken to your mail (on the website).
    But the best part is that you can keep all sensitive documents hidden no matter how many people use it.
    hope this helps.  BTW, it costs less than 2 and half dollars and its worth it.  Google StashPro and go to their website to look at additional features.
    You can check the free version before buying the pro version.

    If my itouch was stolen and I put it in lost mode can the thief still turn on the wifi for me to locate it or do they need the password to turn it on?

    It can still connect to Wifi in Lost Mode. As long as you do not erase it, you will be able to track it via Find My iPhone. And even if you erase it, the Activation Lock will prevent the thief from ever being able to use it:
    ACTIVATION LOCK
